I had a great stay at this hotel, which boasts a fantastic location right in the Historic District of Charleston and is within walking distance to many attractions. The rooms are stunning and very comfortable, making it perfect for families. However, it would have been nice to have better guidance on shuttle services. Overall, the hotel is a solid choice for both comfort and location, but there’s room for improvement in service directions.

Breakfast is extra, but the continental spread offered a lovely selection of traditional Southern options, worth the price for early risers.
